# Vultisig Audits

Vultisig security practices and audits. Independent assessments and responsible disclosure.

Open-source threshold signatures, an audited signing library, and responsible disclosure.

There is no public bug bounty program today. Report a vulnerability through [GitHub](https://github.com/vultisig) or [Discord](https://discord.gg/Cugw9T2NrP).

***

## Security model

Vultisig uses threshold signature schemes (TSS). There is no complete private key in normal operation:

* Vault shares create signatures together
* Compromising one device does not move funds
* All app code is on [GitHub](https://github.com/vultisig)

For the protocol, see [Security & Technology](/security-and-technology/overview.md).

## Audits

### DKLS23 protocol library

The DKLS23 implementation Vultisig uses is from Silence Laboratories. Trail of Bits audited that **library**, not the Vultisig apps:

| Auditor       | Date | Scope                   | Report                                                                                          |
| ------------- | ---- | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Trail of Bits | 2024 | DKLS23 protocol library | [View report](https://github.com/silence-laboratories/dkls23?tab=readme-ov-file#security-audit) |

### Application audits

Mobile and desktop application audit reports will be linked here when they are published.

***

## For users

1. Backup vault shares to separate, offline storage
2. Verify addresses before signing
3. Keep the apps updated
4. Use a Secure Vault for significant holdings
5. Never share vault shares or backup files

### What Vultisig cannot do

* Access your funds
* Recover lost vault shares
* Reverse blockchain transactions
* View your private keys (they never exist)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.vultisig.com/help-and-legal/security.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
